Orientation Lock is a simple open source app to lock the screen orientation, for Android 5.0+.

Why Orientation Lock?

When using an Android tablet, you might find that some applications do not support landscape mode or specific orientations. This was quite troublesome for me. I tried several screen orientation locking apps available on the market, but they were overloaded with features. I simply needed an app to lock the screen orientation, so I decided to create one myself.

The principle behind locking the screen orientation is very simple: it involves using a floating window to render a view in a specified orientation. This is just a straightforward application, and I wanted to keep it lightweight. Therefore, I implemented it using native methods without any third-party libraries. Pretty cool, isn’t it?

While you can download the APKs here directly, you should preferably use an F-Droid client so the app stays up-to-date on your device. Some clients have this repo enabled by default, e.g. Neo Store, Droid-ify, or, of course, the IzzyOnDroid client by Sunil. With others (like the official client) you'll have to add this repo manually (see the hint on top of the package list for how to do that).
